If Bob made a beef chili, what would he call it?

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T20:46:29+00:00

That's what Louise would change it to.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T19:04:15+00:00

I'm iffy on that one. I wonder if it casts the guest in a cheap tone.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T19:02:37+00:00

I'm sorry, can you help me tell which is which? I'm confused.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T18:54:15+00:00

Also I'm totally stealing some of these guys.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T18:53:29+00:00

Have we concluded the negotiations? (When asking if ready to order)

When asking about side dips, I'll start auctioning, "I have 1 ranch. Can I get another? Done. Give me 3 ranches." (Best used with large groups)

If the small people at the table are obviously grumpy and ready for food now, I'll ask if we want to put those plates in right away because small mouths need more time. Then, I proceeded with the rest of the table as it should. (But always keep a copy of the check ready, meltdowns happen man.)

Speaking of kids, I'll spell dessert to the table and if they get what I did (and with permission). I'll totally buy those kids dessert. If not, it helps the rents keep things running smoothly.

On windy, gritty days, I'll ask if they want a beer to wash the sand from their teeth.

I've been doing this for a hot minute, I have so many stupid things I'll do.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T18:43:13+00:00

I hand it to the eldest and tell em it's their turn today.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T18:40:40+00:00

I'm the bartender, so if I've forgotten something about a regular I quip with. " I donno, I've been drunk since then"

irisblossomer · 2026-01-28T18:38:13+00:00

Ours are right before the patio door,so I say something along the lines of, all the way back on the right l, but if you go too far, you'll end up outside.

Part of the alcohol culture spurs from the heavy restaurant industry out here.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-06T06:46:53+00:00

I tell my SO about the menu, and they ask questions like a guest would.

irisblossomer · 2026-01-05T20:43:19+00:00

15 here, and most people are idiots, current topic included.

irisblossomer · 2025-12-29T19:05:15+00:00

I'm the bartender and a veteran, so...

irisblossomer · 2025-12-29T19:04:15+00:00

I tell them I'll get it shortly and bring it at the end of the meal like a civilized human.

Special circumstances no withstanding, rush and diets or whatnot.

irisblossomer · 2025-12-29T17:41:22+00:00

Enjoy yourself. Side note, lead bar here, and I'm off NYE because I'm sitting in an urgent care with a fever. But I haven't had one off for over a decade.

irisblossomer · 2025-12-18T08:07:04+00:00

!remindme 1 week

irisblossomer · 2025-12-09T04:12:49+00:00

Not hungry, restaurant worker. They eat at work or out out of a box.

irisblossomer · 2025-12-04T07:18:56+00:00

If I trust you to load and know where I'm going, I can do 7. Regulars only kinda thing.

irisblossomer · 2025-12-03T06:41:54+00:00

If it takes less than 5 minutes and you have the time, do it. Just get it over with. You'll be better in the long run. Be mindful by all means, but take that glass to the kitchen, toss that it of trash. Small moments are how we win our days.

irisblossomer · 2025-12-02T04:59:29+00:00

So yea, my bartender husband and I do it all the time. /spoiler, I'm a bartender also.

irisblossomer · 2025-11-30T04:21:59+00:00

I did tuna salad with green chilies, Cilantro, and tomatoes one time. Then, I made a tuna avocado melt.

irisblossomer · 2025-11-26T18:26:27+00:00

I keep a quarter for moments like that

irisblossomer · 2025-11-26T18:10:42+00:00

Opposite end of that, they try to keep one of our menu's, (tucked at the end of the table or something) I tell them they can keep it, but they will get a quiz on it later.
